Sunjester and Just a Few Orcs played a game of Warmaster for the first time in ages last night.

Orcs was trying to use DBM
Sunjester was trying to use BKC...

Happens all too often in my world. The answer is not to try and remember too much but to frequently refer to the playsheet.

Which Warmaster?. Ancients or Fantasy?
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

I expect Sunjester was in the better position as BKC is based on Warmaster.

Hail Cearser, Pike and Shote and Black powder drive me crazy...the annoying little differences. Then I go plays BKC, or CWC same again

It's even worse when you've written the darn things yourself and you have to say "I can't remember, I'll just look it up."  :( :( :(

That's why I've downsized to a few core rulesets, so I enjoy playing the game rather than checking for rules all the time.

Ancients.

First few games of Black Powder we kept trying to use multiples of 20cm, rather than 12 inches.

Maybe we should go back to the universal ruleset of rolling marbles and firing matchsticks at our figures

Now there's an idea for a demo game at a show. I'm sure it would attract lots of participants :D.
